Victims of vehicle fatalities identified

FRENCH CAMP - The San Joaquin County Coroner's Office has identified three men who recently died in vehicle accidents in various parts of the county.

The man who was killed Aug. 7 when he was hit by a car in north Stockton was 69-year-old Tonchietinh Saechao, authorities said. The man was apparently trying to cross eight lanes of traffic on busy East Hammer Lane, far from any crosswalk, police said. The driver of the vehicle cooperated with investigators and was not arrested, authorities said.

The motorcyclist who died Aug. 6 after colliding with a big-rig truck in Manteca was Scott Corley, 28. Corley was traveling west on the connector ramp from northbound Highway 99 to westbound Highway 120 when the collision occurred. According to the California Highway Patrol, Corley drove onto the right-side dirt shoulder in an attempt to pass the truck. Investigators believe he crashed while trying to avoid a guardrail and was run over by the truck.

The man who died July 26 in crash at North Ham Lane and West Turner Road in Lodi was 34-year-old Daniel Yoder, the Coroner's Office said. The Lodi Police Department said Yoder smashed into an electrical box moments after leaving the scene of a dispute in the 600 block of West Turner Road.
